We were the first to create advertising tents and umbrellas with integrated lighting within the structure. Specially designed channels were constructed for these products, where LED strips are permanently installed without compromising the mechanical strength and functionality of the tents and umbrellas. This innovation was recognized at the RemaDays Warsaw 2019 trade fair and awarded a silver medal in the “The Prize for Innovations” competition in the Outdoor Advertising category. Why were these structures appreciated not only by the organizers of RemaDays but also by our customers?

Key Information

  • Mitko was the first to create advertising tents and umbrellas with integrated lighting within the structure, which are quick to set up.
  • The Octa Pro LED advertising tent has a light output of 4000 lumens with a power consumption of 50-90 W, depending on the size of the tent.
  • The light output of the LED advertising umbrellas is 4000 lumens with a power consumption of 70-90 W, depending on the size of the umbrella.
  • LED lighting in Mitko advertising tents and umbrellas is 20 times more energy-efficient.

First on the market integrated LED lighting within the structure

The Octa Pro LED pop-up tent is the first model among advertising tents available on the market where the lighting is integrated into the structure. This is a significant convenience that helps our clients save time when organizing events, as they no longer need to waste time unpacking and attaching separate lighting.

The light output of the Octa Pro LED is 4000 lumens, providing lighting under the tent that allows for comfortable use of the space.

At the same time, the power consumption is low — only 50-90 W, depending on the size of the tent.The structure with integrated lighting impresses not only with its functionality but also with its aesthetics — a illuminated tent guarantees a luxurious setting for events. The potential of this solution can be utilized primarily during evening events, when the illuminated advertising tent stands out against the dark sky. The Octa Pro LED features a built-in Easy-Hold system, ensuring quick and easy installation of accessories and a 5-year manufacturer’s warranty.

The LED lighting is integrated into the structure and is powered by a 230 V AC power supply or a 12 V DC battery. The 230 V power supply is ideal for events held in locations with access to a constant power source. Meanwhile, the 12 V DC power supply is extremely useful during events where access to electricity is difficult or impossible.

Other products in our offer with integrated lighting include LED advertising umbrellas. Umbrellas with built-in lighting attract the attention of guests during evening events. In the gastronomy industry, they not only serve as an impressive decoration but also as functional equipment for outdoor dining areas. Thanks to the built-in LED technology, the umbrellas not only protect guests from bad weather but also illuminate the space while consuming very little power — the power consumption is only 70-90 W (depending on the size of the umbrella) with a light output of 4000 lumens.LED advertising tent at nightLED advertising umbrella at night

LED Lighting and Ecology

LEDs are environmentally friendly. Their main advantage is energy efficiency. While traditional bulbs convert only 5% of energy into light, LEDs can reach up to 90%. In practice, this means that LED lighting is nearly 20 times more efficient than regular incandescent light. Lower power consumption translates into lower electricity bills, which is especially important for those who use advertising equipment daily, such as owners of outdoor dining areas equipped with advertising umbrellas featuring built-in LED lighting.

In addition to energy savings, LED lighting also ensures safety. Since this light source does not heat up to high temperatures, using it in conjunction with flammable materials is safe and poses no fire risk. For those spending long periods in artificially lit spaces, LED lighting does not emit harmful UV light, making it safe for the eyes and skin.

Another factor that indicates LED lighting is environmentally friendly is its durability — LED diodes do not require frequent replacement, significantly reducing the amount of waste produced.

Our products have always been created in the spirit of “zero waste,” so introducing tent and umbrella structures with built-in, eco-friendly light sources was an important step in the company’s development. The fact that environmental issues are significant for MITKO is evidenced by our commitment to using only high-quality raw materials, which ensure the durability of our event equipment for many years. Furthermore, to extend the lifespan of our products even further, we offer spare parts that are readily available to our customers. This means that in the event of a malfunction, you do not need to replace the entire structure of the tent or event umbrella, but only the damaged part. We use packaging made from recycled materials for our orders, and a significant portion of these products has certifications confirming their environmental care.

Advertising Tents and Umbrellas with LED Lighting

The lighting of an event umbrella or tent allows for comfortable use of the space under their canopy regardless of the time of day. However, proper lighting at events plays a crucial role not only in terms of functionality but also in visual experiences. We understand this, which is why we focus on creating innovations that enable our clients to professionally showcase their brands during important events.The integrated LED lighting in the structure is certainly such a solution — event guests will not pass by such a construction without noticing it. Additionally, the integrated lighting reduces the setup time of the advertising tent or umbrella since there is no need to install additional elements like lamps. The structures with built-in LED lighting available in our offer include:

  • Octa Pro LED Tent — the first pop-up tent on the market with LED lighting integrated into the structure. The light intensity is adjustable, allowing it to be tailored to any conditions. It performs phenomenally during evening outdoor events. The Octa Pro LED tent is available in sizes: 3×3m, 3×4.5m
  • LED Advertising Umbrellas — an essential element for hotels, restaurants, and other dining establishments with outdoor seating. The umbrella protects against the sun and light rain, and after dusk, it provides a source of light. The LED umbrella is available in sizes: Ø3m, Ø3.5m, Ø4m, 3.5×3.5m

Summary

Integrated LED lighting within the structure is a modern enhancement for both outdoor events and those held under cover, such as trade fairs. Combined with original printing on the canopy, it will serve as an eye-catching advertising medium for your company.
